My wristwatch is getting rusty (wtf?! I thought Timex had lifetime guarantees or something?) so I'm looking for a watch again. This time, I'm not compromising - I know exactly what I want, and what I need, and I'm willing to pay for it (especially if it won't start rusting or pitting after a year or two).
I just can't find it.
You know those men's watches that have everything? You know how hard it is to find a women's version of that? I'm fat, but I'm short and underneath the fat have relatively fine bones - I don't want a huge watch banging around on my wrist.
I need a watch that
keeps time (duh)
has alarms (4 daily alarms and 1 snooze seems common, I could really use that)
a countdown timer (the 24hr one - the ones that only go up to 60 minutes are useless)
preferably has hands (analog)
has a date (day and date a bonus)
is water resistant (I'm a mommy)
indiglo backlight thing useful
is metal (none of these goofy sports watches with rubber bands, I'm done with those.)
if it's got a nice leather band, I could stand that too.
I don't want time zones in 27 cities, a stopwatch, telememo pages, changeable face color plates, or any of that other stuff. Help! I'm going to peruse Froogle tonight while lying in bed, maybe it'll come up with something.
mostly pointless meanderings

It's not metal, but you could probably get a watchmaker or or something to yank the band off and put a leather one on.

This one doesn't have all the alarms you want, and it looks weird, but is metal. It's also from Amazon's UK site, so I don't know how much trouble it would be to get it shipped.

This one is pretty damn close to what you want.
Dude, you rock - I didn't think anybody was going to leave me links! Thanks!
